P Bracket trouble on Elysian 27

[MatthewCoyne]

Hi all,
Would anyone know where I can find a new / used P Bracket for an Elysian 27 ? Is there an owners club ? I dont mind modifying one similar. The one I have is in 2 pieces after a bash on the bottom, ouch !
Any ideas much appreciated
Regards,
Matt

There is sort of an owners club, although it's not a club as such. http://www.elysianboats.co.uk/

I have the JGM Maderia which is the same hull. The problem is most of the parts are now difficult to obtain as production stopped in the mid 1970's. The gearbox went on mine and is costing a small fortune to be replaced as they no longer make them.

Matthew. Can you supply dimensions of the bracket as I've got a couple in the shed. A long shot I know, but worth a try!

Cattleya. What is the make of your gearbox?

If you have the 2 parts of your broken one a foundry would be able to recast a new one wouldn't they?
Try a decent prop place, possibly Clements mentioned above?

It was a PRM 100, 1:1 ratio. The replacement is a PRM260 2:1 ratio.

They stopped making the PRM 100 in 1973.

The boatyard have now fitted the new gearbox, but had a few problems with it as it was not a direct replacement. I also needed to change the prop.
